Cuffs or no cuffs?
« on: July 13, 2017, 23:47:30 »
Hey guys!
I recently (one hour ago) got my hands on a Special 4512, used, great condition, NO BOX.

But checking the box's pics on the web I see that in the front of the box the klicky has JUST ONE black cuff, but at the back, there are no cuffs.
So could someone who got it MINT confirm if it comes with or without cuffs? and if so, how many and what kind?
Thanks!!

You'll notice that we can't see the photos because Photobucket has stopped those who use its free services directly linking to other websites.

If you now want to link directly with another website from Photobucket, you now have to pay for your Photobucket account.

As one user affected by this change, I certainly won't be paying for my Photobucket account as even the free account is poor value for money.

Yes, I have been noticing that missing pics issue too...

As to the rocker, I don't recall any cuffs ever... but my poor tired head.. can't say for sure. I don't even remember if we ever got a mib one :-[

I don't have 3516 MIB. The front of the box shows him wearing a black cuff (the other wrist is not visible), the back shows no cuffs. I think the cuffs would be these, but I am not really sure if he had them or not!

OH wow... I didn't know that! Do that apply for old photos too? Nothing I've ever posted is seen??  :0 :0 :0 :0 :0

Thanks Graham, I thought it was that kind of cuff. Anyway, the mistery continues....

That Photobucket issue is terrible! Mine old ones here are still showing (or is it the cache?) but I guess it's curtain for me too like it is for tonguello.  :'(

Are there any free alternatives?

Best wishes
StJohn

PS: No idea about the cuff(s), sorry.

I agree!

I started a new topic on this issue:http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=16244.0

I assumed all users of free Photobucket accounts would be affected, so I don't know why your images still show, StJohn. I don't think it's because of caching of images, I got them up on a tablet computer by looking at your post history, plenty of pictures still there! Perhaps it's a question of how many links you have (not reached Photobucket's Execution Threshold yet?). You don't have a paid Photobucket account?

Hi Gaston!
I don't have that fellow MIB but I may have the next best thing.  Here he is in a sealed cellophane packet that must have been included as a gift when I ordered a certain dollar amount from Playmobil.  I have no memory of when that would have been but there is a mini-catalog dated 2000 in the pack.  To complicate matters, he comes with not none, not 1, but 2 black cuffs which seem to be of the basic plain variety.  Whether this is consistent with the boxed 4512 Special is anyone's guess, especially considering how often there are missing and/or extra parts in sets.   ::)   :)
